The cleaners is open Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m until 6:30 p.m. and on Saturdays, from 9:00 a.m.until 5:00 p.m. I used them a few days ago; found their services to be reasonably priced; and found their work to be of quality.

Please don't be put off by the fact that the front door is sometimes locked, inasmuch as the proprietor of the establishment often works alone and has been robbed at least once in the short time that she has been operating this business in our neighborhood.
